FLOWER-ORNAMENTAL PLANTS – THE HOST OF BOTRYTIS CINEREA PERS.

Abstract

Botrytis cinerea Pers. is a widespread pathogen that causes Gray mold in many plant species. Specifically, this disease can affect many flower- ornamental plants. During the last several decades, there are no available observations about this pathogen under the Kyiv’s climate conditions. Since the recent increase in cultivation of many flower-ornamental plant species in this region, it is important to better manage Gray mold and identify the host plants in specific climatic and ecological conditions. We found that B. cinerea pathogen infected 26 plant species from 22 botanical families at the Kyiv Regional Center of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Specifically, the infected species were annual aster, dahlia, chrysanthemum, marigold, zinnia, alstroemeria, ivy, lupine, begonia, verbena, azalea, carnation, pelargonium, hydrangea, orly, tulip, bergenia, lilac, hibiscus, nasturtium, petunia, primrose, rose, sedum, violet, and coleus. Gray mold is characterized by symptoms that gradually change in infected plants. These include the appearance of water soaked areas, formation of gray sporulation or plaque on the leaves or fruits, loss of the form and rotting of plant organs, presence of spots that resemble burns, and plant wilting if the stem is infected.
